Ingredients
500g ground beef
100g Carolina rice
1 onion, finely chopped
1 bunch of parsley, finely chopped
2 eggs
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, eggs, and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix all the ingredients well and let them rest in the refrigerator for a while.
In a pot, add water with a bit of olive oil and bring it to a boil.
Shape the meat mixture into small balls and gently place them into the boiling water. If you find that more water is needed, feel free to add as necessary. Optionally, you can add a little rice to the boiling water along with the meatballs.
You can serve them with either an egg-lemon sauce (avgolemono) or simply with lemon. No matter how you serve them, they are delicious!
Avgolemono (Egg-Lemon Sauce)
In a bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy, then add the yolks and continue to beat together.
Gradually add the lemon juice, and with a ladle, take some hot broth from the pot and mix it with the egg and lemon mixture.
Once ready, pour it back into the pot, stirring to incorporate the avgolemono sauce evenly.
Enjoy this comforting Greek dish!
